Yes! I do say that!
The three main sites I visit are NYTimes, Hacker News and Quartz.
This is a breakdown of my postings in the last 244 days.
Quartz - 16
NYTimes - 20
Misc - 24
As I tried to say in terms of Quartz I have it open all the time at work. To me its stands to reason that if I'm seeing it all the time and I see something I like then I will post it more often.
It was the same at the NYTimes - however I haven't worked there in almost 2 years yet I still post significant amounts from them. Again, its about what I think people will like within the community that I've read.
I've been on HN for over 3 years and I'll bet the majority of my posts come from NYTimes where I worked for a large part of that time. Again - it was always open in my browser so hard not to be hyper-aware of what was being posted and catch interesting stuff.
I'm just doing my best to be as upfront as possible. Plenty of others don't necessarily do that:

Sometimes I post two links in a day, sometimes it will be one link in a week or two. Again, its as I see things I like and want to share.
Updated my profile to say: "I do post stuff from qz.com on occasions that I post cos I naturally come across it as part of my work" and linked to your Comment since it provides more detail.
Not sure this is the answer you wanted but I certainly hope that helps clarify things a bit.
- dalke 14y agoYour numbers show that you are no longer posting rarely, and that you've changed your posting frequency during the last month. I've stopped following "The Atlantic" links because of their spam-like actions, described in http://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffbercovici/2012/06/13/reddit-bans-the-atlantic-businessweek-in-anti-spam-crusade/ http://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffbercovici/2012/06/13/reddit-... . I believe the guidelines listed therein are reasonable. That you responded to my comment is actually a good thing. There was, e.g., a frequent poster to Outside Online pages who never responded to comments on their thread.
